The Ex-Husband Demands Reunion (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 23
Ordinary flowers or weeds were hardly the sort of thing to catch Ellen’s interest.
It was even more unfamiliar to see Ellen taking a liking to moss clinging to a rotting log and even the ants crawling over it.
Moreover, after walking for barely ten minutes, she ought to have complained of sore legs and tried to get Philip to carry her or hold her—but she didn’t.
As they walked, Philip kept glancing sideways at Ellen’s condition. Ellen walked perfectly fine, chatting casually with Philip all the while.
Thanks to that, Philip remained calm—but a part of him still felt a twinge of disappointment.
‘I could carry you today, my lady. When will you say your legs hurt? When you’re thirsty, perhaps?’
“Oh, I’m thirsty.”
Had his thoughts somehow reached her? The moment Philip heard Ellen’s words—spoken almost as soon as he’d thought them—he perked up his ears.
Just as the words “Shall we head back for water? Aren’t you tired too?” rose to his throat—
“Just a moment.”
Ellen asked Philip’s permission and went to the streamside, cupping water in both hands to drink.
Droplets scattered from her gesture, sparkling beautifully in the sunlight. Her red lips, exhaling a cool breath, glistened moistly.
“……?”
Philip, momentarily entranced by this sight, sensed something odd. Ellen always drank water from a clean cup when thirsty. She was not the sort to scoop and drink straight from a stream, however clear it might be.
“Then let’s go.”
The Male lead Always Seduces Her with His Beauty (Matriarchy)
Xin Jiao Zhou is the leader of the world’s premier sect. She has just experienced betrayal from all sides, was poisoned in an assassination attempt, and faced death squad attacks while the poison was taking effect. After finally clearing out the scum from her sect, she was drugged again while trying to detoxify.
After waking up from a night of unconsciousness, she gained a “beautiful and kind-hearted” husband.
Xin Jiao Zhou: “???”
He fell ill.
She came to see him, bringing breakfast.
As she put down the breakfast and was about to leave, his hand slipped while holding the spoon. “Clank!”
She turned around upon hearing the noise.
He looked up at her, his eyebrows drooping: “My hand… has no strength.”
“Shall I… feed you?” she asked tentatively.
He opened his mouth cheerfully: “Ah—”
Thinking she was drowning, he jumped in without hesitation to save her, but nearly drowned himself. In the end, it was she who swam over to rescue him, giving him air underwater.
After emerging from the water, his ear tips turned red. He lightly brushed his cheek, tucking his sideburns behind his ear, revealing delicate, pink-tinged ear tips. He lowered his gaze, too embarrassed to look at her.
Xin Jiao Zhou: He’s truly beautiful, kind-hearted, and adorable.
A certain someone when disciplining subordinates behind the scenes: “If they don’t obey, just kill them.”
What’s that? She might already have someone she cares about in her heart? A certain someone: Find out who it is, kill them, and then there won’t be anyone.
What? She met a man by the riverside? What? That man even hurt her? A certain someone: Whichever hand hurt her, chop off his entire arm.
Love at first sight without realizing it, gradually falling in love, slowly getting closer…
Family and national grudges, schemes and desires, good and evil, crime and punishment, she and he face the future together, seeking justice with passion!
